My stay at The Collective Paper Factory was a mixed bag. On one hand, the spacious rooms and the unique decor gave a nice vibe, but on the other, the location felt a bit sketchy at night, making it hard to find nearby restaurants. The staff was super friendly, and I appreciated the included breakfast, yet I found it a hassle that their dining area was closed and dining options were limited.

While the hotel is conveniently near subway lines, getting there was a bit of a hassle with all the construction and detours. At night, I didn’t feel safe walking to nearby restaurants, which made things tough.

The hotel had some fun features like a shuffleboard room, but it needs some updating. The elevator situation was frustrating, and it could use better signage for the entrance, too.

My stay at The Collective Paper Factory was quite a mixed bag. I loved the unique industrial design and spaciousness of the room, but some amenities fell short. The location was perfect for accessing both LaGuardia and local dining, yet issues with staff responsiveness marred the experience. Overall, I'd consider staying again for the ambiance and space.

I had high hopes for The Collective Paper Factory, exuding a cool aesthetic and being conveniently located near the subway. However, my experience was marred by several issues, including uncomfortable beds and a lack of responsiveness from the staff when problems arose. While I appreciated the unique ambiance and good breakfast options, the discomfort and some service hiccups made my stay less enjoyable than anticipated.

Rooms

5.0

The room design was appealing, yet the bed was incredibly uncomfortable, making it hard to get a good night's rest. I was disappointed by the lack of other seating in the room, forcing me to sit on the bed. Despite the lovely bathroom facilities, the overall room condition fell short of my expectations.

Service

5.0

There were moments when the staff was friendly, notably one lovely member who assisted me during my stay. Yet, there were ample instances where the reception staff could have been more accommodating, which detracted from the overall experience. The service responsiveness occasionally left me waiting unnecessarily.

Location

6.0

The location was great for accessing public transport, making it easy to explore the city. However, the surrounding industrial zone didn't provide the most welcoming atmosphere. While it was easily accessible to attractions, I couldn't shake the unease from the neighborhood vibe.

Dining

Breakfast had a decent variety and was served at reasonable prices, which I appreciated. The quality of the food and drinks was a highlight, and it made for a pleasant start to the day. However, options seemed limited beyond breakfast.

Facilities

5.0

I found the amenities quite lacking considering the hotel's promises. There was no fridge in the room, which I found inconvenient, and I missed having a bar or restaurant on-site. Despite some available vending options, the overall facilities felt underwhelming.

I stayed at The Collective Paper Factory and found the hotel to have a unique ambiance with cool decor and warm lighting, though my enjoyment was tempered by some inconveniences. My room, while spacious, lacked essential furniture like a dresser, making it difficult to settle in for my five-night stay. The staff's professionalism varied, with a notable exception of one friendly barista who brightened my experience. Overall, the hotel has potential with its artistic design and ideal location, but service and certain amenities left much to be desired.
